NTAC replies to ZBN

In a response to Zeliangrong Baudi Nagaland press statement on February 17 appealing Tribal Hohos and Naga tribes to come to the negotiating table and sort out the imbroglio with sense of democracy, the Nagaland Tribes Action Committee (NTAC) and Joint Co-ordination Committee (JCC) said ZBN must unequivocally stand up in line with the rest of the Naga apex tribal organisations and demand for immediate action against T.R. Zeliang if ZBN was a “true” Naga tribal organisation.
NTAC media cell stated despite having clarified on numerous occasion the genesis of the present situation, there still was a need to inform the Zeliangrong Baudi “very clearly” that the Naga people stood for the protection of the rights of Nagas.
The committee while maintaining that the present situation was a consequence of T.R Zeliang’s failure to listen to the voice of people, asked ZBN not to make” irrational statements” which would “invite more condemnation even to your organisation for supporting wrong doers.”
